Painful feet

[Peppapissinpig]

DHs role has recently changed at work and he is spending most of the day on his feet. Most mornings he is waking up with dreadful pain in his feet that just seems to be getting worse.

He has to wear industrial boots but they don't seem to offer any support.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what he can do to ease the pain?

Innersoles with arch support and gel for comfort?

Where is the pain as it could indicate a particular problem eg. plantar faciitis .

Thank you for quick replies . DH says pain started in his arches but has now spread along whole of the bottom of his feet and even the tendons/bones on top of his foot hurt .

Will check out the inserts Random

Plantar Fasciitis sounds possible if you look at the link especially as it fits with his suddenly being on his feet a lot more, wearing different footwear that doesn't offer support, pain being bad in the morning when he gets up and the location of the pain.

I was recently diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis (the GP also called it Policeman's Heel). I had pain on the sole of my foot for months, so bad at times I could hardly put weight on it. It was always worse first thing in the morning.
I was advised to follow the exercises on the NHS website.
Four weeks later and it is much, much better.

I spent a whole summer with bad plantar fasciitis, my chiropodist recommended

Top dose of Ibroprufen for 2 weeks (800mg a day i think)
10 minutes x2 ice pack a day
Never walk in barefeet
soft soles whenever possible but i suspect those gel inserts may be good as well.
mine cleared up in 2 weeks

Thanks for all the advice, I will let DH know.

Also roll a cold can of drink under foot. Bliss!
